But it seems, from the explaination given in the story, that he had nothing to do with it, this time.

You've got to be careful when meeting people off the 'net. It's easy to conceal who you are. If that's not abundantly clear by now, I don't know what's wrong with people.

But it sounds like he's not really a suspect at this point. No need to jump to conclusions just yet.

After a couple years I think its okay to consider meeting, I doubt many people who wish you ill would keep there efforts up for that long. Of course the logical rules like keep in public for the initial meet remain.

... I met SirNitram in the bus station before I took him home for our first meeting... does that count? He even slept in the floor that whole week!

Nitram, slightly high on cough syrup: Do you know you're beautiful?
Me: Nope, that's why I have you around to tell me.
Nitram: You -are- beautiful. Anyone tries to tell you otherwise kill them.

It's possible that he created a rather inflated online persona that she fell in love with, and on discovering that it wasn't real and she was again alone (or stuck with a loser), committed suicide. I suspect that this one is more like the guy in Taiwan, and think your advice sensible.
